2022 BMW IX3 M Sport 2.0L Electric · AB09 SAL

The 2011 BMW X3 passed its most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 165,667 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper. The maintenance trend shows a clean history across the five-year record, though the final weeks of September 2025 expose a short, irregular episode of two consecutive failures on 25 and 29 September at 165,370 and 165,604 miles respectively, both logged with no defects stated. That pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than a clear mechanical breakdown, and the car then cleared correctly three days later. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,044 per year against a 15-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show steady use: 135,999 miles in October 2023, 151,535 in October 2024, and 165,667 by October 2025, an even climb of about 15,000 miles a year with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data itself is sparse on faults, carrying no advisories or corrosion, brake, or suspension flags at any stage. Because the history is clean on paper, a buyer should still confirm structural integrity and consumable condition in person. The X3 at this age and mileage is prone to worn suspension bushes, tired coil springs, and corroding subframes even when the tester logged nothing. Check brake discs and calipers for binding, inspect exhaust emissions hardware, and look beneath for rust on sills and mountings. The two late-September 2025 failures with zero defects suggest the vehicle may have been presented unfinished or with paperwork mismatches before sale. Verify the V5C and ask the seller for context on those tests. Given the clean pass that followed, the car is acceptable subject to a physical inspection of the wear items noted above.
